Hello hello strange website I do not fully understand! I have begun mapping out my Town! The grand town of Northampton! I saw a lot of the suburbs, and even parts of the town centre were missing residential housing features, so I began adding buildings on a road I know quite well as I used to live there. I know I missed a few sheds, but I am not about to guesstimate their locations under trees. Cheers!

Une nouvelle semaine plus calme sur OSM, mais j’ai compensé en retournant faire un peu mumuse sur OpenHistoricalMap à la place.

J’avoue que je suis un petit peu en “manque d’inspiration” sur OSM pour le moment. Je pensais que les nouvelles images aériennes (r)ouvriraient de nouvelles portes, mais ce n’est pas particulièrement le cas je remarque à l’exception du boulevard urbain sur Seraing que j’ai déjà corrigé.

Ce changement se ressent également dans les vidéos vu que deux des trois sont sur OHM (je devrais peut-être poster cet update là aussi 😅) :

Améliorons Seraing (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 30 (Le nom des rues) - Version live de ce changeset où j’ajoute/corrige le nom de certaines rues sur Ougrée

Seraing Autrefois (sur OpenHistoricalMap) - Épisode 4 (La rue de la Boverie) - Version live de ce changeset où j’ajoute la rue de la Boverie et ses “ancêtres” sur OHM. En fait c’est une ancienne vidéo (enregistrée début août 2023) que j’avais laissé en plan pendant des mois parce que je pensais que ça allait être trop compliqué à éditer pour avoir une vidéo potable, mais ça ne l’était pas vraiment en fait

Seraing Autrefois (sur OpenHistoricalMap) - Épisode 5 (La rue du Sentier des Ânes) - Version live de ce changeset où j’ajoute une partie de l’ancien Sentier des Ânes et sa descendance moderne sur OHM

Voilà pour cette semaine. Comme j’ai dit, je suis plus calme sur OSM pour le moment, mais je reste un minimum actif en attendant de trouver un “projet” plus consistant.

I’m just back from a holiday in Malta where I obviously mapped a lot. I made it to #3 in number of changesets in the country which was not terribly difficult.

Something went wrong with my SIM card as soon as I landed, so I had no mobile internet, but I had downloaded Malta on OSMAnd beforehand, so I was good. And there is free wifi on public transport which I availed of excessively.

I added and modified all kinds of things: post boxes (also updated collection times which seems to have changed generally on the island of Malta to Mo-Sa 7:00), defibrillators, ferry terminals, shops, museums, bus stops, charging points, and because it’s me, jostle stones, urine deflectors and drawbar slots. In Mdina, I could actually see the jostle stones in action! I was so excited, I made a little Short for Youtube, but that corner didn’t have a guard stone, but was chamfered and had a metal protector: YouTube Link

Looking at neis-one for Malta and looking up some of the mappers, it seems that Malta is mostly mapped by tourists and these days. You can tell (at least it was my impression) that by what is mapped as well: Areas that are frequented by tourists are mapped much better (I added some post boxes that I spotted from the bus going through areas where tourists don’t get off the bus). Things that are of interest to tourists are mapped, like museums, hotels, bars, beaches and shops whose brands are known globally.

Even before I had set off, I had noticed many hiking trails mapped. I only tried out one heritage trail, and found it poorly signposted. If I hadn’t had the route marked out on OSMAnd, I wouldn’t have known where to go, I think. I noticed some bits missing in the relation and contacted the original mapper who turned out also to be a German tourist. I added some of the other features along the trail. I don’t know who mapped the other trails; I had initially thought that maybe the tourism department of Malta had done it, but I haven’t looked into it.

Motivation and Scope

---

uMap link.

Workflow to map points of interest (POI) in OpenStreetMap (OSM) from a comma-separated values ​​(.csv) file and generate a dynamic web map.

It is important to highlight that this procedure can be carried out by novice mappers and that it is more suitable for mapping little data, for example, schools, health posts, emergency sirens etc., confined to an area that could be, for example, downloaded with iD or JOSM.

To import a larger volume of data into OSM, you need to be an experienced mapper (intermediate or advanced level), to document the procedure on the OSM Wiki and to obtain community approval. This case is not the focus of this tutorial.

As we announced at the beginning of 2023, OSMCha has become a charter project of OpenStreetMap US. After almost 10 years of being generously hosted by Mapbox, OSMCha is now moving to a new home at the OpenStreetMap US. Going forward, OSMCha will be run on infrastructure owned and operated by OSM US. We are excited about this new chapter for OSMCha and to work with community members and organizations to grow the project.

In the last few months, the Development Seed team has been working on modernizing the infrastructure code behind the OSMCha services, closely working with Mapbox. As the infrastructure built by Mapbox was designed almost a decade ago, this was a required step to execute the migration. It is also bringing more efficiency in terms of cost and performance.

The migration will be done next Tuesday, February 13th. Starting from 15:00 UTC, OSMCha’s API will be read-only or unavailable for a few hours.

We are grateful for the support provided by Mapbox throughout the years. Mapbox was the first company to believe in the OSMCha proposal, funded the initial development and continued running the project providing infrastructure and critical maintenance. Their support was crucial in making OSMCha a core tool used by the OpenStreetMap community, everyday. We are now seeking new partners to help us continue to develop and expand OSMCha. If you’d like to support OSMCha directly, you can contact the OpenStreetMap US staff at team at openstreetmap.us.

Hallo, ich habe von der Allianz den Drive Dot. Der zeichnet mir unterschiedliche Fahreigenschaften auf und speichert sie, Seit September 2023 wird auf der Maurener Strasse von Holzgerlingen nach Ehningen ein Stück mit nur 30km/h angezeigt, obwohl da eigentlich noch 100km/ h erlaubt ist. wie wird das geändert??

Mit freundlichen Grüssen,

Motivação e escopo

Link para o uMap

Proposta de um fluxo de trabalho para incluir pontos de interesse (POI) no OpenStreetMap (OSM), a partir de um arquivo de valores separados por vírgulas (.csv) e gerar um mapa web dinâmico.

É importante ressaltar que este procedimento pode ser realizado por mapeadores iniciantes e que é mais adequado ao mapeamento de (relativamente) poucos dados, por exemplo, escolas, postos de saúde, sirenes de emergência etc, circunscritos a uma área que poderia ser, por exemplo, carregadas no iD ou no JOSM.

Para importar maior volume de dados no OSM, é necessário ser um mapeador experiente (nível intermediário ou avançado), documentar o procedimento na Wiki OSM e obter o aval da comunidade. Esse caso não é foco deste tutorial.

Ever since visiting Mount Lassic and then making edits in the region, I’ve had this nagging difficulty: What to do with a mountain whose high point is named differently? Mount Lassic has three peaks, the highest is called Signal Peak. I eventually mapped its survey point, which is also called Mount Lassic, and hoped that was done. (Apparently I shouldn’t map survey points except at the exact point indicated, so I’ve done this WRONG. I’ll just name a peak “Such-and-such Benchmark” then. Except a benchmark is specifically a vertical control and most at peaks are horizontal controls. “Such-and-such Triangulation Station” gets a bit long. Oh, the humanity!) Unfortunately, if one searches for the mountain, one only gets the Mount Lassic Wilderness and the Mount Lassic Trail, but there’s no hint that this goes to the high point of Mount Lassic. It goes, in fact, to “Signal Peak”.

Other places where there’s a named high point (peak) different from the main mountain are Marble Mountain (with Black Marble Mountain the high point). Someone seems to have simply marked a lower peak as Marble Mountain. If one does this, there’s a bit of a debate if it is the highest white peak or the most prominent white peak. Mount Konocti with high point Wright Peak. Currently both are marked close to the high point, but the main mountain has been given a lower elevation so doesn’t show often, but it is searchable.

Yesterday, I reached the point of one million map changes and twenty-thousand changesets. Leading up to this milestone, I tracked my progress on How did you contribute to OpenStreetMap? and carefully planned to make a single edit that would be my one millionth in my twenty-thousandth changeset. I eventually made a gimmicky changeset referencing my first mapping experience. Mission accomplished! However, despite the impressive numbers, my initial sense of accomplishment faded, replaced by nagging existential questions. Have the countless hours I devoted to OSM truly been worthwhile? Why have I been doing this? What is it exactly that I have been doing? … What is OpenStreetMap, really? And there it is, a question that seems very simple, but is not. It is the same question that hides far below the surface in Xvtn’s OSM Iceberg Meme. Inspired by this meme, user rtnf put it this way: “Is it a map? A dataset? A community? A trademark that encompasses an entire ecosystem consisting of the dataset, the tagging scheme, the rendering infrastructure, and the subculture around its mappers, developer-mappers, and third-party data consumers?? What is OSM, really?”

When you invite someone to go to openstreetmap.org for the first time, the first thing they read is “OpenStreetMap is a map of the world”. The next thing you usually want to explain to them is that OpenStreetMap is NOT (just) a map of the world. We then continue showing off different rendering styles, different editors, different tagging schemes … We pride ourselves being part of a secret society, where only the sworn in know what it is actually about. We giggle when we see the Iceberg Meme because it is “so true”. We say things like: “If you have been doing this for years, you will understand”. All of this without being able to answer a very simple, fundamental question: What is OpenStreetMap?

Although the raster maps at maps.atownsend.org.uk support zoom levels up to 24, until recently I’ve not made much use of that for showing extra data. However, there is a lot of room at these high zoom levels - as the picture above shows, enough for all the directions on this signpost here.

The name is shown as normal at lower zoom levels, then as you zoom in the directions are shown too, as you can see here.

1st Time Learning about QGIS and Open Street Map through Digital Mapping Workshop on Palang Merah Indonesia (Indonesian Red Cross), North Jakarta Branch

Současně s tím, jak jsem se začal věnovat mapování města, tak jsem si na vycházkách všímal dalších detailů, které jsem chtěl zanést do mapy.

Všímal jsem si, jak se realizují, či spíše nerealizují některé činnosti týkající se životního prostředí, které má v kompetenci městský úřad a Odbor životního prostředí. S některými činnostmi správy městské zeleně pro mne bylo těžké polemizovat, když jsem neměl žádné přesnější podklady o výskytu, nebo množství konkrétních jevů. Bez důkazů se argumentovat nedá.

Byly to detaily týkající se především městské zeleně kdekoliv ve veřejném prostoru. A tak jsem si je musel nejdřív shromáždit:

• eko opatření ve městě
• černé skládky
• rizika území, eroze
• Květinové louky a méně sečené trávníky
• Ptačí krmítka a budky
• skleněné plochy s rizikem nárazu ptáků
• Živá divoká zvířata ve městě
• Mrtvá divoká zvířata usmrcená a nalezená v katastru města
• Zajímavé stromy
• Invazívní rostliny (křídlatka česká, lupinus vlčí bob, slunečnice topinambur)
• Suché stromy
• vodní plochy s příležitostí revitalizace a lepšího hospodaření s vodou

Bylo jasné, že tyto informace nelze vkládat do obecné OSM mapy a tak jsem hledal konkrétní aplikaci, která nabídne kombinaci jednoduchosti a možnosti zadání vlastních mapových záznamů.

Nechtěl jsem používat Google mapu, protože s tou jsem udělal už před časem nepříjemnou zkušenost. Některé funkce a služby firma Google průběžně mění tak, jak jim byznysově vyhovuje. To znamená že pro uživatele mohou nečekaně vzniknout nová omezení nebo náklady za nově placené služby. Detaily podkladové mapy se zcela nehodí na mapování životního prostředí, protože Google se soustřeďuje na komerční záznamy firem a lidmi zadávané body zájmu.

Whilst attending FOSDEM in Brussels this week-end. Of course as I’m European I was able to use streetcomplete while roaming. So I did and collected a bunch of bagdes. While spending time with a friend, as we were walking to get/find food, I was playing. When I explained what I was doing, he got immediately interested in joining, so I demoed a bit more and had one more person going to map around his home.

I’m Harrison, a hobbyist mapper based in Brooklyn, New York. I’ve been a map lover for as long as I can remember. Over the last few years I have gotten more involved in OpenStreetMap including my first trip to State of the Map US last year.

Mapping Projects

My ongoing “forever” project is mapping sidewalks in Brooklyn. With about 1,600 miles of roads there’s a long way to go! Beyond just mapping sidewalks I am working on adding curbs with accessibility details.

My most interesting mapping project has been working on the map at Train Mountain Railroad, the world’s largest miniature railroad. This started out as armchair mapping from home, then when I visited this last summer I worked on Mapillary “rail-level” imagery and other detailed mapping. The most exciting part has been the engagement from the community at the railroad getting engaged. The improved map has been immediately useful in the Train Game, and is being incorporated into a new track guide. This project has been fantastic as a complete study from all kinds of mapping to end data users.

Vous vous souvenez la semaine dernière quand je disais “mais les nouvelles images ouvrent pas mal de portes”? Et bien j’en ai profité pour… ne pas faire grand chose avec pour le moment 😅

Plus sérieusement, je n’ai effectivement pas été des plus actifs cette semaine avec seulement une poignée d’updates dans la boîte, principalement des “retouches” en rapport avec d’autres changesets récents. J’ai également fini d’ajouter les branches du Proxibus de Seraing et avait enregistré la session pour en faire une vidéo, mais c’était un peu bof pour être honnête et j’ai laissé tomber l’idée.

Au niveau vidéo, c’est aussi plus léger cette semaine avec :

Ce randonneur part faire du repérage pour chemins.be dans le Bois de l’Abbaye à Seraing - Enfin une sortie live où je pars dans le Bois de l’Abbaye pour prendre des photos pour le site chemins.be. Je montre aussi 2-3 choses que j’ai ajouté sur OSM dans le passé pour compléter ce bois

Ce mappeur OpenStreetMap retourne du côté de Bierset pour plus de modifications - Version live de ce changeset où je reviens sur Bierset après la mise à jour du SPW pour… également mettre à jour la carte OSM

Et voilà pour cette semaine. Je serai de nouveau un peu plus occupé cette semaine donc je ne sais pas trop si ce rythme continuera ou si j’aurais le temps pour trois vidéos, mais on verra bien.

EN:

A lot of new mappers are trying to edit existing element instead of creating new one and set properties to them. (For example some new mapper added amenity=pharmacy to whole apartment building insted of creating one node for it.)

Also I think it would be good idea to hide some existing layers for newies (at least boundaries). New mappers do not need to work with them, because they are not changing for a lot.

In iDeditor a lot of times happens that new mapper connect road with forest boundary, because he just moved node on way for a bit and iDeditor connected this 2 elements (This can be prevented by holding Alt, but new mappers do not know this). So we can at least think about layering OSM at least for new mappers.

Also when new mapper is crating new way, which is going in the same direction as some existing way (boundary or forest boundary) he many times connect this new way with existing one.

Proposed layers:

• POI
• buildings, highways, railways
• landcover
• boundaries

In JOSM I’m using filter to hide landcover and boundaries for most of time. Only when I want to work with landcover or boundary, only then I revert filter to show only this type of ways.

SK:

Čím viac sa nad tým zamýšľam, tým viac mi to príde vhodnejšie. Veľa nováčikov sa snaží niečo pridať, lenže väčšinou len upravia existujúce elementy namiesto toho, aby pridali nové. Taktiež si myslím, že by bolo vhodné nováčikom skryť aspoň hranice. V iDeditore sa nováčikom často stáva, že spoja cestu s hranicou lesa (Nevedia, že keď podržia Alt, tak sa im to automaticky nespojí). Takže môžme aspoň pouvažovať nad nejakými vrstvami v OSM.

Navrhované vrstvy:

• POI
• budovy, cesty, železnice
• lesy, lúky, polia …
• hranice

V JOSM mám väčšinou zapnuté filtre na skrytie landcover a hraníc. Iba, keď potrebujem elementy tohto typu editovať, len vtedy si filtre prevrátim.
